Monday Review


The Editor by Steven Rowley
Publication Date – April 2, 2019
🌟🌟🌟


James Smale has just sold his manuscript and is meeting his editor for the first time.  After some comical miscommunications, he realizes that his editor is no other than Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who was an editor in the nineties when this novel takes place.   The book James has written is based on his own family, especially his mother, who is not in any way happy to be a main character.  There are moments of real humor in this book and I really enjoyed the family scenes.  I had a hard time with the character of James at times, his neurosis started to annoy me towards the end, but it’s an enjoyable read and makes me want to read more about Jackie Kennedy Onassis’s career in publishing.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
